Nelson Mandela to fade away? Who's to fill his shoes?
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/09/wo...r=2&ref=africa
“It’s the idea of Nelson Mandela that remains the glue that binds South Africa together,” said Mondli Makhanya, editor in chief of The Sunday Times. “The older he grows, the more fragile he becomes, the closer the inevitable becomes, we all fear that moment. There’s the love of the man, but there’s also the question: Who will bind us?”
Anyway, just wanted to throw this out there for discussion, as I've yet to see anyone mention Mandela's impending passing at all, regardless of what he's done for South Africa, even if most of that "doing" involved sitting in a cell for 27 years writing letters to his family and friends.
Anyway, discuss. Or don't, and let this thread get buried below things like how to properly eat chicken wings or the merits and shortcomings of various NFL teams.

Trigger here's an idea why don't you fuck off out of the thread if you don't care?
Tick.
I've been following the South Africa stories for a while now. What I'm most concerned of is of course you and your brother being there when he passes. I could definitely see some turmoil resulting from that. I really doubt apartheid could return in South Africa, but who knows.
